He is the recipient of several awards for his contributions to leadership and commitment to numerous nonprofits in Boston and beyond. Most recently he was awarded the 2020 Ray Stata Leadership and Innovation Award by the Massachusetts High Technology Council for his efforts working with the state of Massachusetts on the COVID-19 Task Force. Pagliuca has been active in the area of public policy and is a former candidate for the U.S. Senate.
